    That first lap was real edge of the seat stuff. Newcomers to F1 should be required to watch that.

    Later in the race we got to see Webber weave all over the straight in an effort to block Alonso. Later we got to see Rosberg do the same thing to Senna.

    Also Ferrari did a great job of blocking Kimi from the pits. Much to his displeasure I'm sure.

    Yawn....seems that the Red Bull domination has returned leaving all others fighting for a position on the podium next to Vettel...

    Great team and driver they are but it does take some of the fun out of watching the races when Seb gaps the field like that in the first couple laps. :rolleyes:

    I think the fact that Seb can put a second a lap on the field in the first few laps on cold tires, then make those 20 lap tires last 32 laps is very indicative of his skill level, not luck or just a good car. It is clear that Red Bull has found something they didn't have earlier in the season, but don't forget they had two other races won earlier in the year when their alternator failed.

    Anything can happen but I think the rest of the field is going to be chasing Seb to the end.

    The one equalizer could be Austin, where no one has run before.

    Agreed. I think Vettle is amazing and I'd be happy to see him win again. I like the Red Bull team. I root for them. I was rooting for Webber but a combo of iffy equipment and Alonso driving like the champ he is put him down into 3rd.

    Austin will be a slick cluster. I suspect they guys that are good in the wet will rise to the top of the heap there.

    I've really been enjoying these races. I'm sorry that you guys don't seem to be. :( Perhaps you should follow a different series. :confused:

    Better Yet

    Stay home and watch it all on Speed. Give me the tickets, prepaid hotel, prepaid flights, and your AMEX card so I can buy SWAG for you. :devil:

    Qually was interesting!

    BigMac looks strong this weekend, and I wonder where Vettel will wind up on the grid at the start?

    Of course, as long as he finishes ahead of Alonso, that's really the main thing at this point. Likewise Alonso has to find a way to finish ahead of Opie....going to be a tough weekend for both I think.

    Vettel excluded from qualifying results for fuel infringement

    Pit lane start for Vettel.
